Did you enter the comp here https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/78725281#Comment_78725281.
Looks genuine to me.

I just replied about this on the winners page, but it could be legitimate. I won a voucher from perks@email.currys.co.uk and it is real. I think there was supposed to be around 5700 winners so it’s likely yours is too.

If you do have a voucher, you can check it on balance checker link from here (under the ‘Is there a way to check my balance’ bit). I did with mine and it shows the balance I expect: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/help-and-services/ways-to-pay/gift-cards-6-commercial.html

I hope you have won something!

I won a tenner in the comp that Boots linked to and got the email about it today, but it didn't have the word "Perks" in it anywhere, I've just checked.

With my email, the title showed: "You've won a Gift Card for in our Black Friday Giveaway!"

In the body was a large "Congratulations" in dark blue, over a light blue box with bubbles. Below that was a link showing 'Claim your Gift Card'

Then the text said:

"Hurry, your eGift card expires at 11.59pm on Tuesday 30th November, so visit us instore or online and treat yourself to some brand new tech!

You can use your eGift card as full or part payment towards any product instore or online at www.currys.co.uk (excluding certain mobile phones and airtime). To redeem online, simply select 'Use a gift/eGift card' during the payment step, and enter the numbers above.

We hope you enjoy spending your eGift card!

Below that were the T&C on a dark blue box.

Was yours the same? I might be wrong, but I would've thought that if we'd won from the same comp, the emails would be the same. Of course, it could be that my one is a scam and yours isn't, but I have now clicked the link and printed out my gift card. It all looks legit to me. Hope yours is too.

I got one too, the email address when I clicked on it was customerupdate@email.currys.co.uk
It looks ok, but now not sure!

Did you both get a link to click on to generate your gift card for you to print out? That's what I did, and I printed a gift card with a bar code. It will be interesting when I come to spend it, if they will accept it or not.

Regardless, either they're sending different emails to winners, or there has been some sort of hacking scam going on, as we all entered the comp and got these different winning emails.
